"Chaeyoung, I swear to God! Stop! I don't want to! Stop!" Jisoo rounds the table while laughing, Chaeyoung on the other side with a sly grin. "If I catch you, you're mine!"

"No! You know I suck at this!" They are playing around, like little kids until Jisoo's mom comes around.

"Hey kids." She enters the room with groceries in her hands, and Chaeyoung insists to help her carry it.

"Oh Kim Jisoo, when will you learn to be helpful like Chaeyoung?" Jisoo's mom asks playfully, making Jisoo frown and a blush to form on Chaeyoung's cheeks. "I-It's nothing, Mrs. Kim."

"Mom what are we having for dinner?" Jisoo looks through the grocery bags, but her mom swats her hand away and gives her a scolding look.

"Not like you're gonna help me cook!" Her mom tells.

"Hey mom, remember when I was a kid? I always wanted to be a chef because dad's cooking was the worst and I thought that you and I will be the only members of this family that could cook when you and dad get older." Mrs. Kim giggles as she recalls the memory.

"Oh yes, I remember that."

"Where's Mr. Kim by the way?" Chaeyoung wonders loudly.

"He's mowing the front yard. He thought the weeds are overgrowing, but I think he's just overreacting." Jisoo's mom starts to unpack the dinner she is going to cook, and Chaeyoung joins her side with a smile. "Let me help you with the cooking, Mrs. Kim."

"No, kids like you and Jisoo should be upstairs in her room and gossiping, not helping me. And stop calling me Mrs. Kim, okay? Call me Auntie. If I hear you again calling me Mrs. Kim, I'll never let you step a foot in my house again, do you hear me?"

"Mom!" Jisoo calls, a bit mad with the thought of Chaeyoung not having the right to enter or visit their house anymore.

"What?" Chaeyoung and Mrs. Kim laughs. "I'll keep that in my mind, Auntie." Mrs. Kim nods approvingly.

"Now go and don't bother me! Get out of my territory!" Mrs. Kim jokes, pushing her daughter and her daughter's friend out of her kitchen.

When Mrs. Kim closes the kitchen's door, Jisoo squeals and jumps on Chaeyoung happily. "She's never told any of my dates that comes around to call her Auntie." Jisoo informs Chaeyoung, snuggling her face on the crook of Chaeyoung's neck.

"Well they don't actually know." Jisoo frowns. Jisoo and Chaeyoung have been dating for the past few months, and she always forget to confess that to her parents. Not entirely forget because she's still afraid of telling her parents that she's bi. That is one of the reasons why her parents doesn't know she and Chaeyoung are dating. There is hesitation, but mostly forgetfulness. Jisoo is such a forgetful person.

"I'm sorry." Jisoo says sadly. She feels guilty for not having the guts to tell her parents and she knows that Chaeyoung has been affected by her hesitation. She climbs off of Chaeyoung but the girl holds her tightly.

"Hey." The brunette looks at her. "I know you're scared. And that's okay. I'll wait until you have the courage to tell them even if it takes forever. I don't want to force you to do something you're not ready and comfortable with." Chaeyoung runs her hands through Jisoo's locks and smiles warmly at her girl.

"I can wait. We have all the time in the world." Chaeyoung looks around first and then gives Jisoo a kiss on her forehead. Jisoo frowns. "You know, all of this should be the other way round. I'm older than you."
